Allow user to select multiple headings simultaneously and promote or demote their levels

Currently the user is allowed to click on one heading at a time in Navigator window. He cannot select multiple headings at a time. 

As a result, if we have to promote/demote the levels of multiple headings, it becomes very tedious: We have to click on each heading and then click on the promote or demote button. 

This means if we have to demote 20 headings, we have to click 40 times!

This is totally wasteful.

Let the user select multiple headings in the Navigator window (allow him to use SHFT and CTRL keys while he clicks). Then he can promote/demote the levels of all the selected headings with a single click.

Maybe this enhancement request could be extended to all the components?
I was looking for a bug report about the fact that it is not possible to select several shapes from the navigator using the shift key, which seems to be the same problem as described here.

This would be very useful in Impress for example, when wanting to change a parameter of several objects all at the same time without having to select the shapes on the slide one by one with the risk of missing some or selecting something else. The navigator could make it way easier as it is clear what is what thanks to the object names.

Is this the same issue?
